Terex Utilities’ Post

Increasing Productivity and Safety in Substation Maintenance Tasks: Substations are among the most congested work environments in the utility industry, demanding that workers navigate obstructions in tight spots. Unless mandated by state regulations, many utilities opt for non-insulated mobile elevated work platforms (MEWP) due to their superior maneuverability and lower cost compared to bucket trucks. – https://bit.ly/3tLd1p0 https://bit.ly/4cYj0s1

Revolutionizing Electrical Safety for Mobile and Transportable Buildings with Guardian Technology When it comes to mobile and transportable buildings, traditional grounding systems often present significant challenges: poor soil resistivity, dangerous excavations, and complex installations. That’s why we’re proud to introduce how our Guardian technology is changing the game. 🚧 Key Benefits: ✅ No Earth Rods Required: Guardian connects directly to the existing earthing system, creating a fully electronic earth rod without any contact with the ground itself. This means no reliance on soil resistivity and no need for time-consuming or hazardous excavations. ✅ 24/7 Monitoring & Compliance with BS 7671: Acting as the electrically skilled supervisor, Guardian continuously monitors for open neutrals, phase imbalances, and touch voltages, ensuring full compliance with safety standards. ✅ Ease of Movement: Guardian enables seamless relocation of temporary buildings without the need to reinstall or test traditional earthing systems. Perfect for construction sites, events, and remote installations. ✅ Enhanced Safety: With real-time fault detection, Guardian notifies of elevated touch voltages and other electrical risks, keeping people and assets safe. By eliminating the need for earth rods and addressing the risks of traditional earthing, Guardian offers a cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and portable solution for dynamic environments. Whether it’s for construction sites, temporary accommodation, or rural installations, Guardian is the future of electrical safety for mobile and transportable applications.

Why predictive monitoring is important: Why the existing PV-panels are installed and left unmonitored with the false assumption they operate to the best efficiency throughout lifetime. #solarinstallation #solarenergy #solarpanelsystem #maintenance

One common misconception is that merely opening the switch meets the requirement of system de-energizing. However, a system should not be considered properly de-energized until all the hazardous energy control requirements are met properly, as defined by OSHA 1910.269(m) for de-energizing and OSHA 1910.269(n) for grounding requirements (Occupational Safety and Health Standards – Title: Electric power generation, transmission, and distribution.). Safety takes the highest priority in any electrical works. Safe operations and safer workplaces are the prerequisites for minimal interruptions in the power supply. In the same way, uninterrupted power supply has gained such importance that the consumers spent a substantial sum on backup power and power-switching equipment to ensure the continuous flow of power.

When an operator manually charges a circuit breaker, several potential faults could arise that might compromise its operation. For instance, incomplete charging can occur if the handle isn’t fully engaged, leading to a situation where the breaker doesn’t close properly. Over-tensioning the mechanism could damage internal components, while mechanical jamming might result from dust or debris obstructing the parts. Additionally, worn or damaged springs could be exposed during the manual process, revealing weaknesses that affect the breaker's reliability. There’s also the risk of the mechanism failing to latch correctly, or not resetting as it should after charging. Considering these possibilities, what other faults could potentially occur as shown in this video??
